A novel augmented reality (AR) haptic feedback system using real-time finite element analysis and visualization

This paper presents a novel augmented reality haptic feedback system that combines real-time finite element simulations, fast visualization techniques, and haptic feedback devices. To achieve real-time computations, a reduced-order modeling technique using proper orthogonal decomposition with interpolation and radial basis functions is employed. A multiresolution meshing technique that dynamically places local fine meshes on a global coarse mesh is used to quickly visualize finite element result
